Administrators reassigned
By ll«kJ Sltauoaho-
Two NAU vice presidents have requested
job reassignments within the university, as
the administrative structure undergoes
reorganization.
Administration Services Vice President E .
Harlin Staires will teach education courses,
while Finanical Affairs Vice President
Laverne R. Pitcher will act as a financial
consultant to tht university.
Staires said he requestrd reassignment so
he could resume teaching.
"After more than lS years in public
school and higher education administration,
it is my desire to get back into the classroom
and I have some I I years to give in a
teaching role. __ " Staires said in a prepared
statement.
Staires will be teaching school law tor
teachers, school finance and introduction to
education.
Pitcher said his reassignment request was
based on a mutual agreement with NAU
President Eugene M. Hughes. Both agreed
that an administrative change benefits with
new individuals, Pitcher said.
"I did not feel it was best when the univer­sity
has three op;:nings for vice presidents to
have someone around who has been here as
long as I have," Pitcher said.
The 21-year NAU administrator is looking
forward to an early retirement.
However, he said his eventual retirement
will not break his ties with the university.
"As far as I'm concerned, my association
with NAU does not stop when I retire," he
said. Pitcher will be 62 on Nov . 29.
Hughes agreed that Pitcher 's reassignment
request partly was due to a university com­mittee
's recomm<ndations for ad­minjstrativc
restructuring.
"Based on Pitcher's analysis of whattht
committee was recommending-- tht fact wt.
would be rrdudng the number of viet
presidents from five to four and bringing in
at least three new vice presid<nts-- he fell it
was in the best interest of the university for
him to ask for reassignment," Hughes said .
The universi ty commiu~ was responsible
for reviewing the current administrative
structurr and rerommending a proposed
change to be implernentrd in tht near future,
said Hughes .
Recommtndations establ ished vice
presidencies for university · relations and
development, administration and finance,
and student strvices .
Hughes said the only offices firmly
established before the committee's recom­mendations
were tho;e of the president and
academic vice president.
Vice presidential responsibilities were
established by the committee and subsequent
discussions with himself, Hughes said.
"What we have tried to do is look at the
functional areas of respoosi bility on campus
and pull together what we feel are ap­propriate
areas for vice presidents," he said.
Responsibilities of the univrrsity relations
and development vice president include
public relations and information, alumni
relations, grants and fund raising, publica­tion
center, conferences and special events,
states an advertisement in the 'The Chrontcle
for Hightr Education.'
The ad ministration and finance vice presi­dent
will managt tht budg<t office. business
manag<r. affirmative action officer, ph ysical
plant, personnel office, purchasing, uni-er­sity
security, awdliary services, computer
center , managmtnt information services and
institutional studies.
Areas under the direction of the student
services vtce president will be admissions and
records, testing and counseling, finan cial
aids, student recruitment, health services
and residence halls.
Previous Yice presjdencies were executive ,
academ ic, administration services, nnanciaJ
affairs , and student and university relations.
Virgil W. Gillenwater, current txecut ivt
viet president, will retire June 30.
Hughes said 200 applications have ~n
submitted for the studtnt services vice
presidency, 90 for university relations and
development and 100 for administration and
finance.
Selections for the new positions are e>.­pected
by July I, Hughes said .

some of the activities planned to crlebrate
Earth Day 1980 in Flagstaff.
An organizational meeting to discuss the
specifics of these events will be conductrd
tonight at 7:30 in the second floor lobby of
the Public and Environmental Service
Building on south campus. Evtryone is
welcome.
These events will be conducted Tuesday,
April 22 as part of the national Earth Day.
President Carter recentl~ proclaimrd that
day as Earth Day 1980, marking the lOth an­niversary
of the event.
Earth DaJ
Symbol
In making the proclamation, Carter mess­ed
the need to place special attention on
"oommunitr activities and educational ef­forts
directrd to protecting and enhancing
our lifegiving environment."
The original Earth Day was organized
mostly by college students 10 years ago as a
result of the intense social and political ac­tivism
of the period, Byron Kennard said in
a recent Eanb Day newsletter. Kennard is
the chairman of the EartH Day 1980 Board
of Directors.
This Eanh Day has a special significance
to it, said regional coordinator Janet
Schnorr .
"Due 10 the recent energy shortagt, socie­ty
has let the environmental issues slide to
get more energy,'' she said.
"For examplt, the energy mobilization
board was created to cut through existing en­vironmental
laws, just to get more energy,"
the NAU professor said.
"People art more worried about their
standard of living than protecting the en­vironment/'
Schnorr said. "And, traaes
fallacious because we waste •~ percent of the
enerJY we use_
"Other countries have tbe same standard
of living as us and only UK half the eaergy
we do," she said.
"In tllr past, eneru has been so cheap
that we haven't looked into efficiency fiiC­ton
in our machines.
"Earth day is intended to be a recommit­ment
of tbae ideas and concuns," Sdlnorr
said_ "We Deed to mniad people of the im­~

"This year marks a recommitment to Cll ­wir01liiiCIIIal

Heywood said one problem they face is
public acttptaaOr.
"lt's not as popular anymore, but the die­hards
are still here,'' he said.

Every other Friday, two long lines form
on the first floor of the Administration
Building.
The panicipants of this biweekly ritual are
NAU students picking up their pa~checks .
Next semester there may be fewer students
standing in those lines.
The national federal work-study budget
has been cut in President Carter's fiscal
l980-l!l buJ~et. s•id '-hn F. Shipley <•u ­dent
finatlctal a1ds director .
NAU .,.;11 not be heavily affected by this,
Shiple~ said, although campus work-study
will be cut by 10 percent. This means that
fewer students will get a piece of the pie,
Shipley said.
NAU currently contributes Sl73,!:ro to
the work-study budget, while the frderal
government contributes 5700,000. Staning
in July, the work-study cut will take the
budget from $873,000 to SSOS,!:ro, Shipley
said .
Considering that the majority of students
"orking on campus receive less than
minimum wage, one may wonder why there
are so many.
HWorkjng on campus is convenimt/' said
Shiplty. "We are very fleltible with work­study."
Students can arrange their work hours
around classes. If they have to study for an
exam or nerd time off for som<thing, it
usually can be arranged, he said.
Working off campus, although providing
a bigger paycheck, is usually more deman­ding
on a student's time, Shiple~ addrd.
Most work-study and student wage
students stan at S2.64 per hour. After a year
the wage is usuall~ raised a dime, said
Shipley .
The current minimum wage is S3 .10 per
hour.
Work-study and student wage jobs include
working for the campus food service, typing
and clerical work for various offices and
library work.

Marler selected as regent
By Rory Aikru
Gov _ Bruce Babbitt has selected Renee
Marler to be the next student rtgtnt, the
governor's office announced Wednesday.
"The governor felt she (Marler) could
best represent the students at NAU and
the other univ~sities," satd Chris Hamel,
special assistant to the governor_
Hamel said Babbitt was in Flagstaff last
week and interviewrd all the candidates.
"The governor was impressed with
Ren~'s answers and she came highly
recommendrd b~ faculty, students and
people in the local community," Hamel
said.
Marler, 20, a political science major
and economics mjnor, said she wasn't sur­prised
about gelling the position .
" Babbill told me in my interview with
him that his aides had ranlcrd me number
one among the candidates," said Marler.
Marler's appointment will go before the
Senate Education Commillee next 'Aetk
for ratification.
Marler said gelling the position "in one
sense is a rrlief, in another sense it isn't
because you ha•e to start thinking about
the " ork that needs to be done."
Marltr said she was hoping to hold a
forum at NAU to get student's vie..,s
before b~ first official meeting in May,
but because she doesn't get installed until
Ma~ 15 and I be regent's meeting is after
school lets out , she wil wait until the fall
and hold forums at all three universities.
Marler said her contacts in student
government al the three univtrsities will
be a major resourct in finding out stu­dent's
needs and opinions.

Wronr! Jerome C. Norris, Physical Plant
director, said it's the two new electric
vehicles that the plant has purchasrd for use
around the campus.
The small, truck-like machines ue being
tested for future consideration for vehicular
traffic of the Physical Plant.
"We invested in these two trucks at this
time and, if they perform up to our opeaa­tions,
we will buy some o«hers at a lattr
date, " Norris said.
The trucks are being testrd by different
departments to see if they can survive
FJaastaff winters and operate for 1 full day
on a sinaJe c:llarae.
" Before they to into full-time operation,
we are equippinJ them with btmlpers llld

Their relatively modest size and small elec­tric

trucks is between IG-12 mph on nat surfaces.
"There are places on cam~us where a
pickup just won't fit - like between
buildings that havt steel posts surrounding
them - and thrs.e little units can maneuver
there and in otber tight spots," sa~d Norm.
So, if you're walkinz to your next class
and hear a small "hum" approaching from
